The Idea Village is a non-profit economic development organization founded in 2000 with the mission to identify, support and retain entrepreneurial talent in the New Orleans Region. In 2009, The Idea Village launched the First Annual New Orleans Entrepreneur Week (NOEW) and to ensure the event was a success, they enlisted ARB to manage all logistics. In addition to being the logistical partner for NOEW, ARB has also assisted The Idea Village with their 2010 entrepreneurial class graduation event. It was a night to remember as The Idea Village graduated their inaugural IDEAxcelerator class of 23 members.
